Patience
Three ways to help with your patience.
You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. James 5:8
I’m quite late with the Morning Thought today. Continue reading
In Due Time He Will Return!
There’s a new photo making the rounds on Facebook so I cannot promise to its validity. It’s called “blasphemy Sunday” and it’s a yard sign that says something like, “It’s been 2000 years. He’s not coming back. Get over it!” Continue reading
Fruit of the Spirit
Gal 5:22-23 the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Over the weekend we had the Fruit of the Spirit VBS. During the first song I remember someone saying, “That’s what I need; self-control!”
My response was you start with love!
The fruit of the Spirit is a staircase.
What you will need first is love! You cannot have kindness or gentleness without it. You can’t have joy or peace if you have hate.
Love is the key – the first step to the fruit of the Spirit.
Self-control is last on the list. Before you will attain it completely you will have to have things like patience, faithfulness, and gentleness. Self-control is not possible without them.
The great thing is the fruit of the Spirit is not dependent on others. You can have it without any help and despite any opposition. It’s all about your personal relationship and availability to the Holy Spirit.
John 15:8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
Abba, I want to be an orchard of good fruit for You! In Jesus name, YES&AMEN
Wait for the Best!
Gen 15:3-4 Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!”
And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.”
Abram was willing to settle for Eliezar of Damascus to be his heir; he was willing to forgo the stress of waiting and wondering for it just to be over and life move forward.
There are times you can be so desperate to move forward you will compromise for something less than God wants for you.
God has a plan. His plan is perfect. Your plan is flawed, unless that plan is to wait on God.
There are people right now settling for less than God wants for them. They are living in their sin when God wants them to live in Christ.
Some are praying to trees or dead religious leaders when God wants to answer their prayers.
You may be struggling to make ends meet or you may make lots of money but aren’t truly fulfilled or happy. God wants you to be dependent on Him for all you need, including happiness and joy.
Don’t settle for less. Wait on the Lord.
Ps 37:7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Ps 27:14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Isa 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Abba, I want the most that You desire to give to me. In Jesus name, YES&AMEN
